Ruby Peterson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Ruby was born in Ocie, Missouri in 1938 and moved to Connecticut when she married the late John (Pete) Peterson.
She loved her CT home and family but kept a special place in her heart for her Missouri homeplace, calling family and visiting as often as possible.
Ruby's favorite pastime was gardening, and she spent many happy hours making them a place of beauty. She loved to quilt, sharing beautiful pieces we will treasure. We hope that the items shared from her flower beds will provide lasting memories to her friends.
Honestly, we just think Mom felt that being away from Dad for 11 months was simply enough. She was wrong, but as usual, there was no arguing with her.
Ruby is survived by her two daughters Lynn Kent and her husband David, Lesa Tennant and her husband Michael, her two grandchildren Laura and Jessica, and her three sisters Joanne, Deida and Linda.
